I very much enjoyed my experience at Whitefish Bay High School! As a student who went to Whitefish Bay schools from 5th grade through high school, I believe I was able to gain a well rounded view during my time there. Whitefish Bay has been known for some time as a quiet, affluent neighborhood that prides itself in being the home of one of the best public high schools in the state. Whitefish Bay High School does an exceptional job of getting their students to a college ready level in for years. As a result of being in a wealthy neighborhood, the community has been dedicated to ensuring that students at this school have all the resources necessary to be successful. The only downfall that I see is there is a complete lack of diversity in the school despite only being roughly 10 minutes from the inner city of Milwaukee.
This school is honestly the best school I could ever ask for, even though the course work is heavy on students, it prepares them for college in ways that no other high school in Wisconsin could, which is why we've rated the best high school academically. The teachers are nice and very helpful and the sporting events are always exciting especially the football games with the football players being well trained, I can say from experience. COME TO THE SCHOOL!
The past 3 years at Whitefish Bay have definitely made me a stronger student and prepared me well for college. Academically, the school is very strong. I do think it's worth pointing out that the school (and really the entire WFB community) is extremely cliquey. People tend to have strong established "friend groups" and rarely branch out. A lot of people are fake friendly, but there are definitely some genuinely kind people too. I've had a few amazing teachers, but also a few that weren't so great. The school spirit is overall really good- especially for homecoming week.
